Proclaimed by historian Thomas Babington Macaulay to be the greatest man since Milton, Edmund Burke is commemorated here on the bicentenary of his death in a collection of essays that explore the breadth of his interests and the profundity of his insights into political philosophy and human nature. The 18 original pieces—from academicians, politicians, and journalists from America, Britain, Ireland, and France—consider the multifaceted aspects of Burke's life and legacy.
